Sony PCG-VX88 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony PCG-VX88 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
Main clues the power charger should need replacing
- The unit will not run using just the AC power adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge all the time
- Most Sony adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
